Pucking Forbidden Claim Her Refusal
Kade POVAmelia finally lifts her head, her eyes locking onto mine with something desperate, something pleading.“Why are you here, Amelia?” My voice is quieter now, but I already know I’m not going to like the answer.She hesitates, then swallows hard. “Because you know people.”I frown. “What the hell does that mean?”“You can find someone,” she says, gripping the baby carrier like it’s the only thing keeping her from breaking. “Someone to take care of her.”The words send a jolt through my chest, my entire body going rigid.“You want me to give your baby away?” My voice comes out sharper than I intend, but I can’t help it. The whole thing feels too fucking surreal.Her lower lip trembles, but she straightens, jaw clenched. “I don’t have a choice.”I stare at her for a long moment, then let out a breath and laugh because what the fuck else am I supposed to do? “Amelia, I don’t know shit about babies. I have no idea what to do here. The only thing I can offer is sending more money ho

Kade POVI stand there, staring at my phone, my entire body stiff with shock and fury.This can’t be happening.This can’t be fucking happening.The baby’s cries don’t stop. If anything, they just get louder, more urgent, more frantic.My pulse is pounding in my ears as I run a hand down my face, trying to think. My body feels like lead, exhaustion pressing into my bones, but I can’t ignore her. I can’t just leave her there screaming.Groaning, I crouch down, hesitating for half a second before reaching into the baby carrier. My hands feel awkward, too big, too rough, but I manage to scoop her up, holding her against my chest. She’s tiny, way smaller than I expected, her little face scrunched up and red as she wails.“Okay, okay, I got you,” I mutter, even though I have no fucking clue what I’m doing.I bounce her slightly, adjusting my grip. Nothing. The crying doesn’t stop. If anything, she just gets louder. Moving towards the kitchen, I open the diaper bag Amelia left behind. There

Rook’s POVI stare at the baby carrier, then at Mercer, and then back at the baby carrier.A slow grin spreads across my face, and before I can stop myself, I let out a short laugh. “So when exactly did you manage to get a woman pregnant?”Mercer shoots me a glare so sharp it could cut glass. “Fuck off, Rook,” he mutters, shifting the carrier onto the table and unfastening the straps.The second the buckle clicks, the baby lets out a scream, one that practically bounces off the walls. Mercer groans, rubbing a hand down his face before lifting her out, cradling her against his chest in a way that’s both awkward and surprisingly careful.“She’s not mine,” he says through gritted teeth, as if that explains anything.Nikolai steps closer, eyeing the baby with a calculating look before raising an eyebrow. “She has your eyes.”Mercer’s head snaps up so fast I think he might get whiplash. “She has my sister’s eyes,” he practically growls, his exhaustion making him more volatile than usual.I

Rook POVBefore Mercer can respond, my dad finally speaks up, his voice calm but firm. “It’s too late for that.”Mercer and I both turn to him. He’s watching us, his usual unreadable expression in place, but there’s something in his eyes that makes my stomach tighten.“What do you mean too late?” Mercer asks, and I already know he’s not going to like the answer.Dad exhales, crossing his arms. “The second you stepped out of that car with the baby, the media caught it. Pictures are already spreading.” He pulls out his phone, swipes a few times, then turns the screen toward us. “They’re already making assumptions.”Mercer steps forward, snatching the phone and staring at whatever’s on the screen. His jaw tightens, his fingers clenching around the edges. “What the fuck,” he mutters.Curious, I lean over to take a look, and the second I do, I can’t help but laugh.There it is. Crystal-clear shots of Mercer stepping out of his car, baby carrier in hand, looking like he’s barely holding it
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-11Pucking Forbidden Claim Him Knowing
Rook POVMercer runs a hand through his hair, his knee bouncing like he’s barely keeping himself together. I can practically see the gears turning in his head, running through every possible scenario, every potential fallout.“This isn’t going away, Mercer. We have to give them something to answer for the pictures.”Mercer leans against the table, arms crossed over his chest, looking like he wants to be anywhere but here. “I don’t care what we say,” he mutters. “Make something up. Tell them whatever the fuck you want.”I let out a sharp laugh. “Really? You don’t care? Because last I checked, you were the one ready to rip my head off when the pictures showed up.”His glare is instant. “That was different.”“Was it?” I push, stepping closer. “You say you don’t care, but we both know you do. So let’s figure this shit out now before we get in front of the cameras and you start losing your temper again.”Mercer exhales sharply, pinching the bridge of his nose. ”Fine,” he mutters. “We say i
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-11Pucking Forbidden Claim Our Plan
Rook POVMercer lifts his chin, eyes burning into mine, and I don’t know which one of us does it first, if it’s him, or if it’s me, or if it was always going to happen. But suddenly, we’re kissing.It’s not soft. It’s not careful.It’s months of anger, weeks of tension, days of regret, all crashing together at once.His hands fist in my shirt, yanking me closer, and my fingers dig into his sides, pulling him in so fucking tight there’s no space left between us. He bites my lip, and I groan into his mouth, and it’s chaos, it’s war, it’s us.And for the first time since I lost him, since I let him walk away, I feel like I can fucking breathe again.His mouth is still on mine, hungry, desperate, like he’s trying to prove something, like he’s still fighting, even now. And maybe he is. Maybe this is just another battle in whatever the hell this thing between us is.I don’t care. My hands grip his waist, pulling him closer, and Mercer doesn’t stop me. Instead, he pushes back, his fingers ta

Kade’s POVI’m fucking exhausted. I got so used to having Rook beside me that sleeping without him was virtually impossible. I don’t know if I’m hungover from drinking last night before Amelia showed up, if I’m still running on fumes, or if I’m just that fucking drained from everything happening at once.Either that, or I’m still drunk, and when I finally get some sleep and wake up, I’ll have to ask my dumbass, drunk self what the fuck I did.“You’re arguing with yourself,” Rook mutters, his voice laced with amusement.I glance at him, already annoyed. “What?”“I can tell,” he says, shrugging. “Just forget whatever it is. First, we do the press conference, right?”Sighing, I nod. “Fine, but then I need a fucking drink.”“I think you’ve had enough. I can still taste it on your mouth,” he winks.I groan, rubbing my face. “You’re not funny.”He smirks, clearly enjoying himself. “I’m hilarious.”I don’t bother arguing. My head is already pounding, and I don’t have the energy to deal with
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-11Pucking Forbidden Claim Not Happy
Kade POVThe moment the words leave my mouth, the room explodes. Reporters are shouting over each other, cameras flashing wildly, all of them desperate to get the next piece of the story. My jaw clenches as I glance toward Rook, who’s sitting there looking way too pleased with himself.This was not how I wanted this to go.The moderator tries to calm everyone down, raising his hands. “One at a time, please,” he says, motioning toward another reporter.A man in a dark suit leans forward, his expression sharp. “So, just to be clear, are you saying this was a relationship during the time the pictures were taken, or is this still ongoing?”I shift slightly, glancing at Rook. His smirk hasn’t dropped, but there’s something in his eyes, something unreadable. This is the moment where we’re supposed to stick to the script, where we say it was casual, something that was but no longer is.But we both know that’s a fucking lie.“It’s ongoing,” I say, feeling the weight of it as soon as I say it.

Pucking Forbidden Claim Saved
Kade POVPain drags me from sleep, and I move slightly, opening my eyes to see we’re on the plane. I can’t remember anything after Rook getting me. I turn, and he’s sitting beside me.He looks wrecked, he’s worried. Smirking, I nudge him, and he turns to face me. “Sorry I was late home.”Groaning, he punches my arm, and I grunt. “Shit, sorry,” he mutters.“It’s fine, that was the only part of my body that didn’t hurt. Now it feels included,” I mock, and he groans.“Like I care that you were home late. Fucked-up thinking, Kade.”I shrug slightly. “Shame, if you were angry, the sex to punish me would have been fucking epic.”“You’re totally fine, clear. Go back to sleep, nob.”Smirking, I lean my head against his shoulder and hold in the groan. At least now he’s smiling and not so worried about me. “Where&
Pucking Forbidden Claim Stopped
Rook POVI tilt my head, watching him writhe. “You’re holding out for them, huh? You think they’re watching? That they’re waiting to see if you can handle a little pain before they decide you’re worth saving?”He chokes on his breath, his fingers twitching against the blood-slick table.I grip his chin, forcing him to look at me. “They don’t give a fuck about you. Every second you sit here thinking you’re being loyal, you’re just another second closer to dying for people who don’t even know your fucking name.”He sucks in a broken breath, but his lips stay pressed together.“Fine.” I grab his pinky, and before he can even brace for it, I snap it back. A sickening crack echoes through the room, his strangled scream tearing from his throat as he thrashes.I let him writhe, let the pain settle deep into his bones before I lean in close. “You've got a few fingers left. You ready to waste them all for people who wouldn’t piss on you if you were o
Pucking Forbidden Claim Forcing Him
Rook POVI yank the knife out and slam my fist into his ribs. He chokes on a breath, curling in on himself, but I don’t give him time to recover before I drive my knee into his stomach. He crumples to the floor, coughing, blood dripping from his mouth.“You’re making this worse for yourself,” I warn, crouching in front of him. “You think you’re gonna hold out? You think you’ll last?”“I don’t—” His voice cuts off in a strangled cry as I grab his fingers, wrenching one back until it snaps.His scream rips through the room, raw and desperate.I grip his hair, forcing his head up to meet my eyes. “You’ve got nine more before I move onto something worse. Now tell me. Where. Is. He?”Tears spill down his face, his chest rising and falling rapidly. His lips tremble, but he still doesn’t fucking answer.“Stubborn,” I mutter before grabbing another finger and snapping it just as easily as the first. His body jolts, another scream tearing from
Pucking Forbidden Claim Making Him Speak
Rook POVThis is impossible. There’s no footage from the back of the restaurant, the lead that Lorenzo found is a dead end. I’m beginning to think that note was planted to bait Kade, and now I wonder, did he even see it? Did he walk into this blind?Every fucking move I’ve made has led me in a circle. There’s nothing. No trail, no whispers of where he might be. I’ve had a list of names from Lorenzo, people in this country who might have had the balls to pull something like this. I went through them one by one. Each name dragged in, each one screaming in pain, but all swearing the same thing—they don’t know anything.How the fuck can none of them be involved? My eyes shift to the men in the room, the ones we brought with us. And for the first time, I wonder, are they all innocent? Something isn’t adding up.Nine hours.Nine fucking hours since Kade disappeared, and my father’s words echo in my head.Find him, or he’s dead
Pucking Forbidden Claim Fighting Words
Kade POVDanielle watches, waiting, maybe hoping that I’ll finally break. I don’t. I inhale slowly, shaking the blood from my lips, and laugh.“How long do you think you’ve got left?” I ask, my voice rough but still steady. “Every minute you waste here? That’s more time my men have to find me. And when they do? You’ll be fucking wishing you killed me the second I walked through that door.”The guy in front of me hesitates, glancing back at her, waiting for an order.“Keep going,” she snaps, her voice sharper now.He does. Another punch to my ribs, another to my jaw, but I don’t stop grinning. The pain is sharp, burning through my body, but I don’t let it show. They want me to break. They want me to plead. That’s never going to happen.Danielle steps closer, her eyes locked onto mine. “You think you’re so fucking smart, don’t you?” she
Pucking Forbidden Claim Fighting
Kade POVI hiss through my teeth, more from the annoyance than the pain. “There you go. That’s a little better.”She glares, dragging the blade in a shallow cut across my side, but she’s still holding back. Testing me. I shake my head, sighing.“See, this is why you’re not going to win,” I say, my voice steady despite the sting. “You don’t actually know how to do this.”Danielle scoffs. “Oh, I don’t?”I tilt my head. “No. If you did, you wouldn’t be wasting time with this weak shit.”She presses the knife in harder, and I grin, feeling her frustration build. “You want to break someone? You don’t start here,” I say, nodding toward my ribs. “You start small. Fingers. Knees. Maybe a little nerve damage if you want to get creative.”She stills, something flickering across her face. Disgust. Uncertainty.&ldq
Pucking Forbidden Claim Not Weak
Kade POVHer nostrils flare as she presses the blade harder, drawing a thin line of blood. “You don’t hold the power here.”“Don’t I?” I whisper, locking eyes with her. “Then why are you the one trying to prove something?”Her grip tightens on the knife, but she hesitates. That’s her biggest fucking problem. She doesn’t commit. She doesn’t know how to follow through.“Let me tell you how this plays out,” I continue, voice smooth despite the sting on my cheek. “You keep me here, keep trying to break me, but it doesn’t work. Eventually, you get frustrated, you get sloppy, and then my men find me. And when they do, you don’t walk away from this.”Her eyes narrow. “You sound pretty fucking confident for someone tied up right now.”“Because I know how this ends.” I smirk. “And so do you.”Danielle exhale

Kade POVLorenzo is weird. Not in a bad way, just… he’s always had that tone in his voice that says he’s not right in the head, and sitting here, talking to him, I know he’s far from right.I glance at my phone again. I know it’s disrespectful, but I want to stay on time and prove to Rook that I won’t mess up.“You keep looking at it,” Lorenzo taps the phone.“Sorry, I just want to stay on schedule.”He nods. “I understand that, which is why, as soon as the hour is up, my watch will vibrate to remind me,” he laughs, and I nod.Maybe that’s what I need to do—rather than constantly checking my phone.I go back to focusing on our conversation, making sure he knows exactly who I am and the kind of person I am. He talks a bit about Nikolai and the time they spent together when he had just started taking over here. He respects Nikolai&mdash

Rook POV“Find him!” I shout, turning back toward the others, fury and fear bleeding into every word.“We’re working on it,” Damon says quickly. “But his phone was found out the back of the restaurant. Smashed.”No. No, no, no. That phone was the only way to find him.“Track my phone,” I demand. “Whoever it is has my phone. Track it!”“We already tried when you didn’t answer my calls,” one of the men mutters. “It’s not giving off a signal.”My head shakes violently. “Nothing? You’ve had nothing? Not a single fucking thing to give you a hint of what they want?”Damon hesitates.I step toward him. “What is it?”His jaw clenches before he finally speaks. “Lorenzo dug into it and he mentioned there were three targets. Kade, you… and Harlow.”Everything inside me stills.
